HARNESS-T ERRET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 335,116, dated February2, 1886.

I Application filed April 6, 1885. Serial No. 161,300. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE F. EBERHARD, a citizen of the United States,residing at the city of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and Stateof Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Harness-Terrets,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a cheap drop-terret adapted for use onplow-harnesses; and it consists of a ring held by a metallic clip formedwith an open loop,and having its ends,through which it is riveted to theback-band of the harness-pad,eXtending beyond the ends of the loop, ashereinafter more particularly S61-,

` forth.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a topView of the Jferret. Fig. 2 represents the reverse side of the same withthe ring in position to be re- 2o moved from the clip. Fig. 3 isasimilar View With the ring removed.

The clip a is in the form of a loop at its central part, and is open onthe under side to receive ring c. The ends of piece et are formed withrivet-holes, and are turned under the ring to bring the rivet-holes inline with the center of the loop at its bottom. It may be of metal, castin the form herein shown and described. The space or opening between theends s and loop a should be sufficient to allow the insertion of ring c.When ring c has been placed in loop a', and clip a riveted through itsends s to the upper layer of the harnesspad, the ring is securelyretained in the loop.

I claim as my invention- A drop-terrein for harness, consisting of ringc and a clip, a, formed with a bearing for the ring on its under side,the sides of which are substantially parallel, and having its endsextending beyond the ends of the loop, with inclined openings on reversesides, and rivetholes for attachment, substantially as set forth.
